Document Summary
False identification: briefing a legal case related to eyewitness identification. Legal brief: summary of a supreme court decision. Kind of like writing an abstract for a legal case. Keep it to two pages max (double spaced) Make sure to indicate lower court decisions too. Do(cid:374)"t deal with issue (cid:374)u(cid:373)(cid:271)er o(cid:374)e only issue number two in neil vs biggers. Roman numeral ii is where the issue is hit. (case facts. ) Lab and field studies---ex: get permission to try to cash bad check, and have bank tell. Target absent lineups (contains innocent suspect/foil)- does not contain target/ suspect. People placed in the lineup are known innocents. Sometimes police will have an innocent suspect. We need to know how often an eyewitness picks these innocents. False identifications if pick the innocent person. Only considered false identification if it is the purposefully swapped photo. Id if it is a filler: why can we get such a range of false identifications.
